Predictors of outcome for two treatments for bulimia nervosa: short and long term

Article Abstract:

A longer duration of illness and a lower binge frequency in the beginning of the treatment predict a better outcome at the end and at the follow up of the treatment of bulimia nervosa. Longer duration of illness predicts a better outcome at the end of the treatment for patients undergoing 16 weeks of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Lower pretreatment binge frequency predicts better outcome for patients who are given a self-treatment manual followed by up to 8 weeks of CBT.

Aftercare intervention through text messaging in the treatment of bulimia nervosa - feasibility pilot

Article Abstract:

A pilot study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a text messaging (short messaging service or SMS)-based intervention in the aftercare of bulimia nervosa (BN) patients who received outpatient psychotherapy. Results showed that levels of use of the SMS-based intervention were relatively low and attrition high, suggesting that the program needed further adaptation to make it more acceptable as an aftercare tool for BN patients.
